95. the low score on Guitar Hero

96. those grapes in a can of fruit cocktail

And there you have it. I'm sure your life is feeling much more complete knowing all of this. It's so spectacular celebrating my 100th post. I feel like someone should do a quick cheer (I forgot my pompoms, so I need someone to fill in here. Preferably someone good.)

Ok that was PHENOMENAL! I never actually thought about how many horrifying things there were in regular every day things. I'm a little annoyed at all of these inconveniences like those grapes in the fruit cocktai, star wars movies, etc. So irritating! At least I'm not the only one horrifed by them. Thanks for sharing.

Missy B, Missy BRuns our favorite blog, you see!She can do one hundred posts,Now tell her you love her the most! YAY!

I was going to copy all the things I dittoed, but then realized there were just too many. Curdled sippy cups, running out of diapers, empty M&M wrappers, being caught by anyone shoving the last brownie in your mouth......not that I've done that.

I can relate to so many of those horrifying things. I was cringing as much as laughing while reading these because so many have happened to me at some point or another. *sigh* I especially liked #20 & #21. That is always sad. :(
